Fluorine is a non-metal

and at room temperature is a gas. Gaseous fluorine will not conduct electricity. If fluorine is cooled to a very low temperature it will liquefy and eventually solidify, but being very much non-metallic

neither the liquid of the solid will be conductors. The electrons of a fluorine atom are tightly bound to the nucleus, even in the molecular form. To conduct electricity, a solid material must have free electrons which can move as a gas within the crystal structure. Solid fluorine hasonly electrons that aretightly bound to the crystal. A conducting liquid or gas must be composed of ions which are free-moving

charged particles. In liquid and gaseous fluorine, there are no charged particles, only neutral molecules.
